mvc accessing a different model from the strongly typed provided

so I'm writing to see what the best way is to de开发者_Python百科al with this ish that I have.

I have 3 models and a view that has a strongly typed using one of the models.

Here are the models:

public class Car{
  public int CarId
}

public class User{
  public int UserId
}

public class UserCar{
  public int UserId
  public int CarId
     :
     :
}

View would be strongly typed with Cars model to provide all the details of the car when the view is visited. But in it I want to have an indicator (maybe a text) that says that the User already has/owns the car which will depend on the UserCar model mapping.

Any thoughts?

I think you might be able to solve this by passing a strongly typed UserCar Model instead of the cars model and updating the UserCar model to have instances of the User and Car objects for example:

public class UserCar{
  public User UserId
  public Car CarId
     :
     :
}

this way you can check if userId is null as an indicator.

Just an idea...
